And that’s a major bummer. When eBay bought Skype last September, the service was known for delivering more or less the same functions to all users. Windows or Mac didn’t matter. That isn’t the case anymore.

No significant new functions means that Mac users are still two big steps behind the rest of the Skype universe:

1. They still can’t make video calling over the Internet (available in the Windows version since December last year)

2. And they can’t text message to cell phones (available for Windows users in May).

Which is pretty ironic considering that many Skype managers are Mac users.
